Dezi Johnson

Strength Instructor

With four years of experience as a fitness coach and a degree in Advanced Health and Fitness Training from Bryan University, Dezi brings an energetic, encouraging approach to every strength class. A former athlete, she understands how challenging it can be to stay motivated as an adult, which is what first inspired her to teach. Her classes are fun, empowering, and designed to help clients feel comfortable challenging themselves at every level. Dezi hopes each person leaves feeling strong, confident, and proud that they showed up for themselves.

Dezi is passionate about making strength training feel welcoming and accessible to everyone. She loves helping clients challenge the misconception that lifting weights “isn’t for women,” because she believes strength training is for everybody. Her favorite piece of equipment to teach with is the cable machine, and she finds ongoing inspiration in conversations with women about the ways movement can support longevity and mental health. Seeing how movement changes lives continually motivates her to keep learning and bring her best energy to class.

Outside the studio, Dezi enjoys Pilates and Lagree, Beyoncé on every playlist, and a Fairlife chocolate protein shake after a workout. Her ideal self-care day includes putting her phone down, doing her makeup, and spending time anywhere near the water. If she were not teaching strength, she would be a makeup artist for TV and film. To Dezi, Niche feels like home because its community has become her chosen family: fun, supportive, and full of people she would not trade for anything.
